Trip switch
Couples this year are mixing up the way they choose to celebrate their honeymoons - by jetting off before the big day instead . Dubbed the ‘ earlymoon ’, this trend sees brides and grooms pack their bags and escape wedding planning stress by having a little R & R ahead of saying “ I do ”.
Some choose to visit far-flung destinations , others opt for something lower-key like a weekend away in the UK or a spa retreat for two . The key is to simply enjoy some time together as a couple and have a rest from the planning process before the big day commences .
Another trend that ’ s becoming more popular is the rise of the ‘ sten do ’. These combined stag and hen celebrations see couples joining together with friends and family to toast the big day instead of holding separate send-offs into married life .
